Hey, girls!!! I have also ordered the wedding dress from gianinarbridal on February 23. It took them 46 days to make it. They have sent me the pics of my dress and I asked to make just a couple of tiny alterations, otherwise I LOVE it. Can't wait to receive it and try it on =))

BTW, question to the ladies who already received their dresses. Was the packaging alright? One of my friends ordered a custom dress from some chinese shop, everything was fine until she got it. There were some spots of mold on the fabric =(

Mine came folded and squished from them in the tiniest black plastic (think garbage bag) package. It looked fine when it came out. No mold. Just squished.

ok girls, good news on my dress... gianinarbridal wrote me back and told me that they didnt add any beading details yet because they werent sure if I wanted further alterations on the dress itself... thats such a relief... I cant wait to see the finished dress now...

@ barbiegirl: I love your dress... its very cute... cant wait to see it on you

Barbiegirl, I am so excited for you... can't wait to see it. I am sure it will be great! By the way, I ordered my dress from the bridal store, it's different from the one I ordered from Inweddingdress.com. It's Maggie Sybil and it's perfect for the beach wedding. I love it...Now I just have to wait 4 months. I guess, the whole experience taught me a lesson to be patient . I still believe that the dresses we ordered are great quality, I just ordered it without trying the style on. Can't wait to see your pictures!

Oh Margret! I'm so happy that you found a dress! I can't wait to see it! You're right about learning to be patient. I am not patient at all!!! lol That'll teach me. I'm waiting to talk to my sis-in-law, who i know will be brutally honest with me....I think I'll be heading out to the last 2 shops near here soon! lol I am incredibly impressed with the quality of the dress though!

ah, well my sis-in-law dropped by and i tried it on again.....and she was also disappointed. not from the quality of the dress....but she 's been with me through all the dressing trying on process and she feels like it's not the one. I'm going to hold onto this one for now, but will probably end up trying to sell it if I can. There were a few short cuts it looks like they made to make the bodice appear scalloped but ultimately made me look wider than I actually am!

Barbiegirl, The dress looks great...but I see you have exactly the same issues that I had. The little changes in the bodice were not flattering on me and made me look wider as well. Take some time and try it on again. Maybe some alterations would make the difference. I would love to see the dress on you.
